what's up with NY LottoReply
CASH Only, I think NY Lotto has to increase the payout in the future. They're a rip off right now. They say 38-40% prize payout. It should be more like 45-50% payout.

WOW, TALK ABOUT ADDICTION: Woman stole $2.3M to buy lottery ticketsReply
Well at least it's a good example to people who spend large amounts per drawing that it doesn't increase your odds, At least if she had bought art with the money the company could have gotten the money back.

New NY Lotto by 2007?Reply
CASH Only, I think NY Lotto needs to increase the payout. If not, I think they'll go to a bonus game. I prefer 5/49+1/40.

Florida joining a Multi-State LotteryReply
Despite the Mega Millions group's statement that it will not allow more states into the game, it is hard to say which multi-state game Florida will eventually end up joining (if Florida's next governor knows what is good for Florida). Obviously, it will join Powerball if MM doesn't lift the moratorium; however, if MM keeps getting a lucky string of wins, the group may change its mind and ask Florida to join so it has another excuse to increase the matrix again.

New NY Lotto by 2007?
NY Lotto sales have been falling rapidly; the refusal to increase the payout above the prehistoric 40% is looming larger than ever. Will there be overdue changes to NY Lotto either this year, or in 2007? Remember NY has had a Republican governor since 1995; we are almost certain to have a Democrat elected in November, which virtually guarantees a new lottery director by next year.

Changes in Mega MillionsReply
ryanm, I agree about the megaplier idea for all states except for California because they're pari-mutuel and it's gets too messy. Remeber, California had one ticket won about $1.4 million by matching 5/5 in August 2005. My request is to increase the odds by adding 6 more MBs to 52.

Changes in Mega MillionsReply
I choose None of the above. As it is, I only play when the jackpot is $50 million or more. If they change the matrix again or increase the price, I'll quit playing and return to playing the state Lotto. I say leave it as it is.

what will powerball and mega roll to?Reply
Actually, the current PB jackpot cap is $390 million, but if the jackpot lands between $365 and $390 million and rolls it will increase by exactly $25 million, since anything over $365 million would become the new record.

MM over/under $50 millionReply
MM just got lucky that's all. I think they need to rechange the ball machine to eliminate technical difficulties. However, I don't expect a matrix change anytime soon. If they did, they need to re-invite 6 more MB from the 3rd matrix to make it 5/56+1/52 to increase the odds. More winners in MM right now means less in the future that I agreed with ryanm on this one.

IF we are going to go into politics, What they need to do is erradicate drugs out of this planet...A drug dealer is not your brother...Not go against people that take it but people that sell it..That and increase the pay of police officers, which is sad to see a country's police officers get paid so little...They need to eliminate of this planet drug sellers...
